Quite often I notice the dreary looks on the faces of people in every stitch of my environment. The beaten, worn down faces of people without hope or direction. The society is moving at such a fast pace that most can’t grasp solid ground to build if they wanted to, but this seems to aid in man’s evolution. It seems that as man is unsettled it forces him to higher grounds, or a better set of circumstances. Have you ever thought about that? What would we all be doing if life had been very easy for us? We’ve all heard stories of kids with “big” inheritances that turn out to be “big”, losers. And our technology alone tells an even tragic story. It seems the more hi-tech gadgets we get, the more lazy we get. Which also results in increased waistlines, and that’s not very helpful at all. So is this the reason for the frightened looks I see on the faces of people daily? Have they just settled? Have they given up on their dreams, hopes? Did they have any in the first place? Just a thought…..

Great thought provoking post. I don’t think they gave up on their dreams. They just have a misperception about what success is. It’s so vast and surrounds us everyday but if we’re not willing to put ourselves out there and seek out uncomfortable surroundings, then we have no hope of growing.

That’s a great post. The technology has developed and it has its negative sides but it cannot be blamed for the increased laziness.
